Last November, Peta, a three-year-old female koala, was brought to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital by wildlife rescuers after it was discovered that five dogs attacked her in Kallangur, Australia. She sustained two broken legs, deep puncture wounds and lost half of her ear. The veterinarian who treated Peta noted that the months between July and December is mating season for Koalas, which puts them in danger as they are on the move to find a mate. Domestic pet attacks are very common to the area, especially to koalas. Peta is very lucky to have survived.

my grandson, RJ had a goldfish for nearly 10 years. it even survived several moves. i was always shocked to see him still hanging in there. sadly, he passed. i remember getting them at the county fairs as a kid and they never seemed to live very long.
